Start Here

I’m Debbie Reber, founder of TiLT Parenting. I’m so glad you’re here!

More than 20 percent of today’s kids are in some way neurologically atypical, or what I refer to as “differently wired.” And because the world isn’t set up to accommodate their unique way to being, these exceptional kids, and the parents raising them, struggle to navigate their journey.

I’ve been there. Scratch that. I AM there. And one of my biggest challenges in figuring out how to best support my son Asher was feeling isolated, disconnected, and hard-pressed to find clear, useful information.

I created TiLT in the hopes that no parent walking this unmarked path will ever feel alone again. And also because I believe that differently-wired isn’t a deficit—it’s a difference.

If you are raising an exceptional kid and want to find out how to tap into the resources at TiLT parenting to do your thing from a place of choice, confidence, and peace, this page is for you.

READ OR LISTEN TO THE TILT MANIFESTO

The TiLT Manifesto outlines my vision for a more positive, more inclusive, and more all-around awesome experience for parents raising differently-wired kids, as well as my ideas for how we can get there together.

WHAT IS DIFFERENTLY WIRED?

I use the term differently wired to refer to the millions of people with neurodifferences such as ADHD, giftedness, autism, learning disorders, sensory processing issues, and anxiety, as well as those with no formal diagnosis but who are clearly moving through the world in a unique way and are being told day in and day out that there is something wrong with who they inherently are.

When I use the word “difference” or “differently-wired” rather than “deficit” or “disorder,” I’m not belittling or overlooking the challenges many kids face, but rather am questioning the language around neurodiversity. I believe it’s possible to accept and embrace a different way of being in a way that not only supports healthy development in areas where these kids may have lagging skills, but also feels positive and forward-thinking.
